  2. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion, with constant velocity (zero acceleration); and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration). The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position x {\displaystyle x} , which varies with t {\displaystyle t} (time).

  3. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Velocity is the speed in combination ... Representation of radial and tangential components of velocity at different moments of linear motion with constant velocity ...

  4. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed is greater on the outer edge of a rotating object than it is closer to the axis. This speed along a circular path is known as tangential speed because the direction of motion is tangent to the circumference of the circle.

  5. Constant linear velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_linear_velocity

    If the data density is the same everywhere on the disc, as is the case with CD and DVD and Blu-ray discs, the linear velocity directly correlates with the transfer rate (read speed or write speed), meaning an increase in linear velocity also increases the amount of data read from the disc in the same time, regardless of whether the laser is ...

  6. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Trajectory of a particle with initial position vector r 0 and velocity v 0, subject to constant acceleration a, all three quantities in any direction, and the position r(t) and velocity v(t) after time t. The initial position, initial velocity, and acceleration vectors need not be collinear, and the equations of motion take an almost identical ...

  7. Van Deemter equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Deemter_equation

    For a packed column, the cross-sectional area of the column exit flow path is usually taken as 0.6 times the cross-sectional area of the column. Alternatively, the linear velocity can be taken as the ratio of the column length to the dead time. If the mobile phase is a gas, then the pressure correction must be applied.

  8. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    In general, for the same shape and material, the terminal velocity of an object increases with size. This is because the downward force (weight) is proportional to the cube of the linear dimension, but the air resistance is approximately proportional to the cross-section area which increases only as the square of the linear dimension.

  9. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points. It is formulated as the vector projection of the target-observer relative velocity onto the relative direction or line-of-sight (LOS) connecting the two points.
